The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2009 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 19, 2009. The committee met in executive session on March 12, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on September 22, 2009 and September 30, 2009. The committee held a public hearing on November 19, 2009. The committee met in executive session on November 24, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The minority of the committee recommended that the House kill it. A floor amendment (2010-0005h) was adopted on a roll call 173–146 on January 13, 2010, changing the text of the bill. On January 13, 2010 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 171–149. On January 13, 2010 the bill was referred to the Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 2, 2010. The committee met in executive session on February 11, 2010 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 15–2 to recommend that the House pass it. On March 3, 2010 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 17, 2010 and was referred to the Senate Energy, Environment and Economic Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 1, 2010. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 7, 2010 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 14, 2010 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 7, 2010, making it Chapter 16 of the session laws.
